Blue Point Brewery’s 20th Cask Ales Festival to Feature 150+ Unique Brews
Long Island’s largest cask ale celebration returns as Blue Point Brewing Company prepares to showcase more than 150 firkin-style beers at its milestone 20th Annual Cask Ales Festival. The event, scheduled for Saturday, November 2nd will transform the brewery’s Patchogue headquarters into a craft beer destination featuring live music, local vendors, and interactive entertainment.
“It was truly a labor of love that sparked this event,” said Mark Burford, founder of Blue Point Brewing Company. “Cask ales have always been something we produced and were passionate about. Now, for two decades, the Cask Ales Festival has become a cornerstone of our community.”
Festival attendees will have access to a diverse selection of rare and limited-edition cask ales from craft breweries across the country. The event will run from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., with VIP ticket holders granted early entry at 1 p.m.
This year’s festival features an expanded entertainment lineup, including performances by The Warped Tour Band, KRUSH, and DJ Kaution. Between beer tastings, guests can explore a marketplace featuring 20 local artisans and sample offerings from eight food trucks.
New additions to this year’s festival include jousting competitions and skateboarding demonstrations. VIP ticket holders will have exclusive access to amenities including massages and IV drips provided by Karasmatic Day Spa, along with access to private bathrooms and a special draft trailer serving 10-ounce pours.
The festival will support two local organizations, with a portion of proceeds benefiting Long Island Cares’ hunger relief programs and Seatuck’s environmental conservation efforts.
General admission tickets are priced at $75, including a 5-ounce tasting glass and commemorative koozie. VIP packages are available for $130, while designated driver tickets cost $40. All attendees must be 21 or older.
Located at 225 W Main St. in Patchogue, Blue Point Brewing Company has grown from Long Island’s original craft brewery in 1998 to become one of New York’s largest breweries, distributing its award-winning beers throughout the East Coast.
